Kerning resume template
Extreme letterspacing as a design statement.
Kerning makes typography the entire design: your name sets uppercase with dramatic tracking, your title and contact follow in tracked caps, section headings carry even wider spacing above a solid black rule, and even roles and dates are letterspaced. There is no color beyond black and gray — the rhythm of spaced letters does all the talking. Striking, architectural, and unmistakable.

Will Kerning pass applicant tracking systems?
All text is real and selectable; letter-spacing is CSS styling that parsers ignore. Single-column flow keeps reading order clean.
Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

Questions about the Kerning template
Does heavy letterspacing break ATS parsing?
No — letter-spacing is visual styling on ordinary text. Parsers read the underlying characters normally.
Is Kerning readable at a glance?
The extreme tracking is deliberate and consistent, so the eye quickly adapts. It is a statement piece — best for design-aware audiences.
Can I add color?
Kerning's discipline is its black-and-gray restraint; that monochrome identity is the design.
